Ingredients You’ll Need for the Cookies

2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Baking Mix – Forms the base of the cookies, keeping them soft and tender with minimal prep.

1/2 cup Half & Half – Adds moisture and richness for a soft, shortcake-like texture.

4 tbsp Butter (Melted) – Brings buttery flavor and helps bind everything together.

1 cup Strawberries (Chopped) – Adds juicy bursts of real strawberry flavor.

1 cup White Chocolate Chips – Provides creamy sweetness that pairs perfectly with strawberries.

And the Glaze

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups baking mix and 1/2 cup sugar.

Mix in 1/2 cup half and half and 4 tbsp melted butter until soft dough forms.

Very gently fold in 1 cup chopped strawberries and 1 cup white chocolate chips.

Place 1 1/2 tbsp size scoops of cookie dough on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving room between the cookies to spread.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the warm cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

After the cookies have cooled, make the glaze by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tbsp half and half.

Drizzle over the cookies and let the glaze harden.

What is All-Purpose Baking Mix? – This is not the same thing as all-purpose flour. This is a baking mix like Jiffy brand, Krusteaz, Bisquick brand, or a store brand.

Dice Strawberries Finely – This helps distribute them evenly and doesn’t weigh the dough down.

Mix the Dough Gently – This helps avoid crushing them, which turns the dough pink.

Don’t Overbake – Pull the cookies from the oven when the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft for a tender texture.

Let Cookies Cool Before Glazing – This makes sure the glaze sets nicely instead of melting into the cookies.
